Need a phone cover in a hurry? Apparently, sheltering your phone is as easy as deflating a balloon, as Youtube user woosung an demonstrates in this handy tutorial video.

I’m not sure where woosung an got the idea to do this, but it bears a striking resemblance to a magic trick called “Pressure” that Daniel Garcia and Dan White conjured up a few years ago. The magic trick has a few extra flourishes to keep the audience titillated, but it’s essentially the same process.

So, whether your phone is in desperate need of adorning, or you’ve got an audience to amuse, a good ol’ balloon has you covered!
